Naruto and Sasuke are doing nothing; Madara and I will set an example.

Kaguya's severed hand was twisted off by Naruto with superhuman strength before the seal was placed, thus preserving Kaguya's complete life essence.

That's why it possesses such strong vitality and corrosive power.

Another half hour passed.

The artificial body in the stalks has completely disappeared.

Kaguya's arms, as they continued to grow bloated, had lost all their original features of arms and hands.

The final, stable product was a black and white tumor!

The surface of the tumor has fascial veins that pulsate rhythmically.

Obito stared intently and said, "It looks like that tumor can still grow, but it doesn't have enough energy to grow anymore..."

At this moment, Chen's gaze turned to him: "Obito, back then when your chakra possessed Kakashi, he used Kamui Shuriken to sever several of Kaguya Usagi's tails in her perfect form, right? The connecting parts of those severed tails should still be in your Kamui dimension, right?"

Chapter 57 The Secret of the Twin Flowers (Part 1)

"I've almost forgotten about this, and it's amazing that you still remember it."

Obito rose from the stone chair and strode to the open space in front of the golem. When he stopped, his eyes had transformed into Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan.

He partially covered his eyes and focused slightly. "Whoosh!" With a sucking sound, the counterclockwise rotating vortex exploded.

Dust lingered in my mind.

The shuriken that Kamui struck Kaguya in her Perfect Rabbit form, specifically her tail with a hand at the tip, which we call the 'hand tail'.

With Kaguya Usagi's complete form, a single tail would be at least two hundred meters long.

The exact part that Kamui Shuriken struck was the front end of the palm, and only a small piece of flesh at the break point was pulled into the space-time along with Kamui's vortex.

"Bang!" A five-meter-square white chunk of flesh fell to the ground along with the vortex.

"This is it, no doubt about it."

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and fourth pieces landed one after another.

Dust stepped back slightly to make room, and then there were three more loud "bang bang bang" sounds!

"Oh! Seven pieces in total!"

At this moment, the Divine Might Vortex not only did not stop, but reversed even more violently.

"Whoosh!" A grayish-brown liquid squeezed out of Obito's eye along the vortex, spreading fifty meters above the stone chamber before crashing down on Chen.

Chen dodged to the side, looking at the object that had just landed with a crash, a look of unexpected joy on his face. "It was this..."

When Obito revived Madara using the Rinne Rebirth technique, the demonic statue inside him was also summoned by Madara.

Kakashi reacted quickly, using Kamui to break off one of the golem's arms.

Afterwards, the Golem went through the Ten-Tails, the Divine Tree, and the Kaguya Transformation, returning to its original state. The missing arm had long since been repaired through the flow of life force and chakra.

The golem arm that was released from spacetime is essentially an extra one.

Obito stopped Kamui, slid his hand across his face, placed it on his waist, and said with a touch of emotion, "The spoils of war captured by Kakashi are all here."

Don't underestimate these white chunks of flesh on the ground, each only five meters square. They are part of Kaguya Usagi's complete body. Even if it's only a tiny amount, it has been tainted with the chakra of the tailed beasts to some extent.

There is also a nearly complete golem arm.

The golem and the tailed beast's chakra are both present; these are the elements of the 'Ten-Tails'.

Not to mention the Hashirama artificial body and Madara's fused corpse that have already been absorbed.

If there's anything missing...

"Now that things have come to this point, I can't keep anything to myself anymore."

Dust's right eye trembled, thawing the 'heavenly treasure' that had been treasured for many years in the Tuo Liu time zone!

The ice crystals dissipated, revealing a flower bud covered with the remains of a ten-meter-long tree trunk!

Now it was Obito's turn to be surprised. "This is!"

Chen said, "That's right, it's the withered flower of the Divine Tree after the Infinite Tsukuyomi was lifted..."

"This was also frozen by you back then!?" Obito asked incredulously.

"No, it was obtained after the war."

"When the Infinite Tsukuyomi was released, I was saving Tobi, so I was really too busy. Besides, the target of this Divine Tree Flower was too conspicuous. If it disappeared into thin air, it would definitely cause an uproar."

"After the war, this flower, along with some of the remains of the sacred tree, flowed into the dark underworld and, after many twists and turns, ended up in my hands."

(According to the Boruto anime, the Divine Tree Flower was obtained from the Dark World by Victor, a member of the Kara Neijin under Isshiki. Dust's actions changed the cause and effect of this event.)

"Now, all the necessary elements should be complete, right?"

Chen clasped his hands together, and the Rinnegan beneath his bangs released a purple glow.

—The Golem's Lock!

The demonic golem slowly opened its mouth, revealing a dazzling golden light at its throat. With a "whoosh," nine dark golden chains burst forth, seven connecting to the 'piece of flesh,' one to the 'severed arm,' and one to the 'withered flower of the divine tree.'

Nine chains simultaneously pulled the object back into the golem's mouth!

The order in which you enter the food is also very particular: first the severed arm, then the chunks of flesh, and finally the flowers!

"Click!" All the chains retracted, and the golem's mouth closed again.

No extraordinary phenomena occurred; it was just like having a simple meal.

However, the tumor on the golem's chest, which had evolved from Kaguya's severed hand absorbing Hashirama's artificial body, began to slowly grow...

Chen didn't care about any of that.

He began to reverse time and, with the power of annihilation, severed cause and effect, resetting everything that had just been thrown into the golem!

Looking at the reappeared chunks of flesh, arms, and flowers, Obito asked, "I'm curious, what would happen if you fed these things, which appeared out of thin air after severing cause and effect, back into the food?"

“Once it’s been fed in, it’s been fed in. The golem will receive the corresponding energy supply. It’s just that I can’t create any more out of thin air. If time were reversed, what was eaten by the golem would come out.”

"Because unless absolutely necessary, even a child understands the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket."

"I'm not going to feed it anymore. For Kaguya, who has consumed the Chakra Fruit, a copy is still just a copy. No matter what, it can never compare to the original."

"The elements are all in place, the mechanism is complete. Feeding it again will only increase the numbers. I'm keeping the remaining materials, which may trigger new miracles in unexpected places in the future."

Therefore, Chen froze the flesh, severed arm, and divine tree flower that had been restored from nothing after severing cause and effect, and stored them in the Tuo Liu time zone for future use.

"Cuckoo..."

Dust and Obito waited for another hour or so.

It was already 6:30 a.m.

The tumor was flattening as it grew, and a human-shaped outline about one meter tall could be vaguely seen.

Dust, through the synchronized perception of the golem via the Rinnegan, still possesses strong growth potential.

"It seems that the results won't be available to assess in a short time..."

"Swish, swish, swish!" At the call, a White Zetsu emerged from the ground and respectfully bowed, saying, "Lord Chen, White Zetsu No. 16 of the Inner Formation reports to you."

As mentioned before, Chen divided the 108 White Zetsu into inner and outer formations of two people each. Inner and outer formations with the same number could communicate one-way.

Chen instructed, "Guard the golem for me and closely monitor the changes in the artificial body on the golem's chest. Report any information to me immediately!"

"Yes, Lord Chen!"

Chen stepped forward, patted Obito on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's leave this place to Zetsu for now and move on to the next match."

They patted each other on the shoulder and held hands, the two brothers walking out of the cave.

Obito glanced back at the White Zetsu, number 16 of the inner circle, with concern.

He withdrew his gaze and asked, "Chen, I was curious about the current configuration of the White Zetsu when you mentioned it before. What methods did you use to enable the White Zetsu to communicate one-on-one in pairs and achieve 'symbiosis and mutual death'?"

Chen's lips curled into a smile. "Want to know?"

Obito said honestly, "It's rare for us to be alone together, so stop keeping me in suspense and tell me."

“Okay.” Chen raised his hand to cover his left eye and said, “This is the second major use of the Twin Flower besides replicating bodies. I can establish a channel of ‘shared will’ and ‘life connection’ between two living beings.”

Chapter 58 The Secret of the Twin Flowers (Part Two)

"Is it really that monstrous?" The second ability of the twin flowers truly shocked Obito.

Chen smiled and raised his hands, gesturing towards the air.

"Yes, as long as I touch two people with equal soul strength with both hands at the same time, I can establish a connection between them by activating the Twin Flowers."

"The two parties who establish a connection can synchronize their thoughts in real time, just like Payne, and can communicate without hindrance no matter how far apart they are, or even across different dimensions."

"Furthermore, if one party dies while the other party is connected, the connection will also be established."

“Death…” Obito asked after deep thought, “Then, what about injury?”

Chen said, "It doesn't matter if you get injured. This is the difference between establishing a symbiotic connection with a cloned body. In the case of not cloning the body, the 'two-way connection' means that even if one side is injured, no matter how badly it is injured, the other side will not be affected in any way. But if one side dies, the other side will die immediately."

They chatted like old friends.

Dust and Obito returned to the streets of Hidden Shadow Village.

Early in the morning, many breakfast vendors had already started preparing their meals and opened for business.

Chen arrived at the door of a potsticker shop, leaned against the table, and said to the middle-aged man who was kneading dough.

"Uncle Ji, give me two servings of tofu potstickers and two servings of lean meat porridge, to go~".

"Alright, two servings of tofu potstickers! Two servings of lean pork congee! Please wait a moment while they're cooked!"

Uncle Ji looked up and saw Chen, his face immediately lighting up with joy. He stopped kneading the dough and greeted him, "Oh! Isn't this Chen! It's been more than half a year since we last met!"

Chen smiled and said, "Yes, to be precise, it's been six months and thirteen days since we last met!"

Uncle Ji burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Hahahaha! Chen, your sense of time is still so strong! Your wife must be quite strict with you!"

"Haha." Chen chuckled noncommittally, then changed the subject: "How's business lately?"

Uncle Ji said with a look of genuine satisfaction, "Oh! Thanks to Lord Shadow! My business is booming every day!"

After saying that, he said to Chen earnestly, "Chen, your uncle here isn't a ninja, but I'll say this without being ashamed: you're so young, you have to perform well! Strive to become a capable general under Lord Shadow as soon as possible!"

Chen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, definitely!"

Uncle Ji noticed Obito standing behind Chen. "Who's this behind you?"

Chen made room for Uncle Ji and introduced him: "This is 'Tu,' he's my... distant cousin!"

Uncle Ji was taken aback: Huh? Cousin? Not an uncle or something?

Obito chuckled and said, "Hello~ I'm Obito, hello Uncle Ji~ I've heard my brother say that your tofu potstickers are amazing!"

Wow, what a young man... his hair has turned white at such a young age! He must have gone through some hardships. It must have been tough for him.

"Hahaha~" Uncle Ji laughed heartily a few times.

"You're soil, he's dust, you're dust brothers, these names are quite a good match! Very good, very good~!"

Looking at Obito's full head of white hair, he couldn't help but feel a surge of warm-heartedness.

While packing, he said, "Life is full of ups and downs. I've been through it all, and whatever happened is in the past!"

"Brother Tu, you and Brother Chen, if you work together, you'll be unstoppable! Both of you should strive to become Lord Shadow's right-hand men! And when we talk about the potstickers you two often eat at my little shop, I'll be proud of you!"

I think Uncle Ji seems to have misunderstood something.

But Obito couldn't bear to spoil his fun, so he obliged, saying, "Definitely, definitely!"

"Here you go, two servings of tofu potstickers and two servings of lean pork congee~ All packed up!"

Chen paid the money, took a serving of potstickers and porridge for himself, and gave the other serving to Obito.

"This... you don't need to give it to me, it would be a waste if I ate it."

Chen smiled slightly and said, "Obito, I think you can't mentally treat yourself as a dead person. Living like that will take away a lot of the fun."

Obito nodded thoughtfully.

Don't you see yourself as a dead person...?
